Martin Heidegger's [in]famous "Rectoratsrede" or "Rector's inaugural address", given in 1933. A careful reading of this speech is essential for anyone trying to understand the early philosophy of Heidegger, and why he eventually withdrew from politics. Leo Strauss' essays entitled "Existentialism" and "German Nihilism" should be read in conjunction with this speech.
